It was posted 7/15/2020 on you tube and I've quit watching nascrap. They had driver Intro's with a very sparse crowd in the stands. They introduced Bubba and the boo's came reigning down on him. I was surprised first by fan attendance then by how clearly you could hear the booing.

I am sure only a small amount of fans were allowed in due to the pandemic, so that small number proves nothing!!!    Bubba just trying to compete with Kyle Busch!!!

Walt, I think a lot of fans have had it with nascrap. After the covid 19 passes, which may take a long time, I don't believe the fans will be coming back. Instead of fixing the aero dependent cars of today, they come up with gimmicks. The rovall at charlotte is one, indy for nascrap is dead and they Tryed a road course. They need to get the cars back in the hands of drivers, not engineers. They need a driver that can talk the talk and then back it up on track. Problem there is today sponsors will drop drivers like a anchor. It's 4 car owners with really deep pockets and then you have the millionaire that just can't compete.

I live in a retirement community down here and there is a guy in our car club that was a busch car owner for several years. He's told us stories that we sit around and laugh like hell. At the end of some of his stories he just looks down and shakes his head and he always replies if big bill was still around he'd have guys fighting on pit road so all the fans and tv camera's could see it.

I used to be a fan, but the kid is really immature. Bristol sealed the deal for me. There are a handful of rookies that are outperforming him and arguably the only one in my judgement that has a superior ride is Cole Custer, but he now has a win under his belt.

I hate to be that guy, but technically the 95 that Christopher Bell drives is a JGR satellite operation that took the spot of the Furniture Row 78 when it went away. Youd also have a hard time convincing me that Petty has better equipment than RCR even now with both having fallen off. Im not convinced that Childresss priority to get his grandsons in his rides have made the team look worse than it is.

Really what it comes down to is that out of the 40 drivers on the circuit, there are probably only 10 of them that are decent that could competitively drive any type of race car they sat in.
